I made rice pilaf with dinner the other night, and we have a bunch left over. The thing is that for some reason it turned out really sticky and gloppy, so while it tastes fine, it's not especially appealing "as itself." I have no idea why this happened; I used the same basmati rice cooked the same way for the same length of time as always. Anyway, I'm not about to toss it out unless no other choice remains, and am soliciting suggestions from our resident culinary genii (that would be you guys) for interesting uses to which gloppy leftover rice can be put. Aaaand GO!

beet burgers on the PPK blog call for 1 1/4 cups rice- I'm sure the extra seasoning would not hurt at all. I always freeze extra rice as I make this recipe a lot to use up all the beets I get in my produce box!

This is a great idea, especially since I have two packages of TJ's cooked beets in the refrigerator!

Excellent. This recipe is also super versatile. Last time I subbed white beans for the lentils, and 1/2 cup of vital wheat gluten for the breadcrumbs, and they were delicious.
